Great Nature

The bustrip took us high into the mountains where we saw the most breathtaking nature. We had a longer stop in the charming mountain village of Monodendri, where we had time to stroll around and soak in the atmosphere. Lunch (included) was served at a local hotel and featured a regional specialty – chicken pie – which was delicious.

A lot seen in 1 trip! I was really amazed by the Vikos Gorge. Could have stared at it for an hour! Because of the many stops, the time per stop was relatively short. But I'm glad I've seen so much beauty
Must visit Vikos Gorge

This was a very nice trip. We had a small party and a smaller bus that makes just a little more possible. During the ride we were able to enjoy not only all Things to do but also the very enthusiastic explanation of the tour guide Yvonne. She knew a lot about the environment, the past and the culture.
Very special day in wonderful countryside.

It was a truly memorable day with a great pace and excellent commentary from Joanne (?). The walk to the monastery took longer than expected so perhaps a bit longer in that location, otherwise very very good.
Just a totally fabulous day.

All round a totally enjoyable trip. The guide Yvonne ( who we met on Meteora last year) is such a fabulous tour guide and made the trip so interesting.

I booked this as a last minute trip and I am so glad we did. The gorge is absolutely stunning and the walk to the view point is through beautiful woodland. I would also recommend taking the trek to the tiny monastery which is really special and again provides another view point of the gorge. To finish the day we visited ancient bridges which gave another perspective of the area. All together a rather brilliant way to see this unexplored part of Greece. And Yvonna was a really chatty and informative guide. I'd urge you to go if you are in the area.
Excursion zagoria.

Fantastic view, you are short of words. During the drive there was told all about the myth and legends of the area by yvonne. The immense depth of the gorge and the beautiful arch bridges will stay with you for a long time.

Beautiful trip with a small van. Had a nice Dutch chat with a super nice tour guide. With which we had already had the day before to the Meteora monasteries. Again she had beautiful stories and facts. So thanks in part to the efforts of Yvonne. Had another wonderful day trip.
